what is topping does it increase yeild?

[turborunner03t]

I am thinking I will tie the lower branches down to allow more branche to form. what type of string materials can I use regular string?yarn?I was thinking tie the stirng to a paper clip and wrap the clip around the branch to cause less stress. also can topping turn the plant into a male?

Hello turborunner03t

Topping, well I call it pinching . Yes it does work and it does increase the size of the yeild. I just pinch the once before inducing flowering which then gives my plants 2 main stems.
I just simply pinch off the new growth at the top of the plants between my finger nails being carefull not to take off any of the area where the new stems are going to grow from.
It really is very simple

Affraid I'm not yet up to Zandors standards, don't think I'll ever quite manage that but I'm trying

This plant was topped, kinda looks like a "minnie me" of Zandors. The other 4 in the tubs were and are tied down. (middle pic was topped)Frosty nug pics are in pics only thread if any one is interested
